When I found yoga 11 years ago, I had decades of cycling and soccer playing behind me. My body was tense, perpetually sore, and in some places, wrecked: A bad cycling accident had left me with a broken femur, where it connects with the hip socket. The physical pain, even in recovery, was excruciating. And mentally, I felt way off my game. I turned to yoga to help repair and rebalance my body and mind. The practice delivered: I gained new flexibility that helped correct the asymmetry caused by my injury, and I was able to relieve my nagging chronic pain.

The following sequence is designed to foster greater resiliency and confidence in your ability to walk, run, cycle, or enjoy asana for years to come.
